IAN Millward got his wish as Leigh drew another Northern Ford Premiership team in the fifth round of the Silk Cut Challenge Cup. Coach Millward will relish the chance or meeting Widnes Vikings at the Auto Quest Stadium on February 28 with a quarter-final place at stake.
"People kept asking me if I fancied a Super League club in the next round. I said 'no' a Division One side will do me - and another in the quarter-final! Why make things more difficult than they need be? he joked.
"It would have been nice to have a home tie, but you've got to take what life chucks at you."
Silk Cut Challenge Cup fifth round draw: Leeds v St Helens; Widnes v Leigh; Hull KR v London Broncos; Castleford v York; Wakefield Trinity v Bradford; Huddersfield v Salford; Warrington v Halifax; Whitehaven v Oldham or Dewsbury
Tie between Leeds and St Helens to be played February 27, with the other seven ties on February 28.
